Faithful Chick aka Faith says:These pictures are gorgeous. I love it all. My poor little tree has not yet got that first decoration on it. We just keep going away and doing something else. I may not even put any on It is just me and Ted anyhow. I carried 4 large decoration boxes to the screen porch but just cannot seem to get started. I’m gonna wish I left them in the shed. It lights up pretty.

Little Round Chick says:Your POD is gorgeous and so are your pictures. One question, are you sure there is a tree under all of those ornaments? And does your nutcracker crack coconuts? They should be about the right size.
